Pig Genetics Workshops
Until 2012, the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit held regular pig genetics workshops to demonstrate the latest PIGBLUP developments and present research findings. These workshops were held every 2 years in Armidale, and PIGBLUP users from Australia and overseas regularly attended to discuss a wide range of topics related to genetic improvement of pig production.
Papers presented at the Pig Genetics Workshops can be viewed by following the links below.
